 Who wouldn't want that?

Merry Christmas!

It's amazing what a better flash can do for a picture. Here is a photo taken at the same place, a year ago, with on-board (or whatever it's called) flash:

An excellent Santa portrait. He looks a bit ragged (as in tired) and definitely ready for a day off. But hey, he gets most of the year off!

You know, Santa may run around the world in one night but, he works 365 days a year to be able to run around the world in one night!!! Fuel prices have been a drag.

Really love this shot, Michelle. It does remind me of a Norman Rockwell!!! Oh, Woman...blow this up and frame it! You really could be in advertising. :)

This score was FAR too low for this shot......

Shoulda asked Santa to strip and put a red bow on his whoha!!! ;)

His expression is so funny! Love the textures in his beard against the suit. Very nice.

Waaah! It's the only day of the year you even work, dude! I give the photo a 9 for all of it's qualities, but I give Santa a 1 for running an elf sweat shop and then whining about delivering the goods one day a year. :P
